Great Hundridge Manor Estate

Great Hundridge Manor Estate is mostly
situated around ridges forming a boundary
between the Hundreds of Aylesbury and Burnham,
its very name still commemorating this ancient
geographical fact.

Originally the home of Walter son of Richard
de Broc who lived at Great Hundridge in the 12th
Century AD.

In 1303 the right of free warren was given to
the owner or Lord of the Manor.

There are records showing that the Chase
family of Concorde USA, founders of the Chase
National Bank, originally came from Great
Hundridge. Some of the Chase family in the
United States can trace their descendants from
Aquila and Thomas Chase who settled in Hampton,
New Hampshire in 1638 to 1639.

Many families have enjoyed living and working
at Great Hundridge over the Centuries.

When the manor house featured in Country Life
on 15th February 1941 it stated in the text that
with regard to the farming "Cobbett testifies to
the quality".

Nowadays, the owners and those responsible
for running the estate are still very much
concerned with quality, not only with the
various properties and estate operations but
also of course again with regard to the
farming. The estate is still run in a very
traditional manner.
